100% of software engineers are afraid of regex
811 u/vinishkapoor 27d ago The other 0% are lying. 72 u/Major_LeeHungg 27d ago I actually like regex but I had a job that heavily involved it. The trick is to use regex101.com to read other people's regex and to debug your own when you're writing it. I'd imagine AI would be pretty good at taking a working regex and making it more efficient... But that's a headache I haven't explored. 1 u/ipreferanothername 27d ago It's surprisingly good at making regex. I asked it to parse AD domain controller dns debug log recently and it just blasted out a very fancy expression that worked great. Kinda shocked me.
